I have done this with my own four children too. With nine kids in the house I cannot afford to have training children pee on carpets or furniture. My couch has never been peed on and I am proud of that. LoL.
Ha! I wish I could say that. I have two dogs plus the kid- the couch and area rug have certainly seen better days.
